Unless you're a teenager with nothing better to do or a pyromaniac with money to burn, heading to the mall can be a chore. But heading to Scottsdale Fashion Square is anything but. With world-class stores at a variety of price points, shoppers can splurge at Barneys New York and Neiman Marcus, go fashion-forward and budget-friendly at Madewell and Zara (yes, we have a Zara!), and daydream at Tiffany and Prada. Add in a trip to Sur La Table and audio indulgences at Bang & Olufsen, and you're looking at a fairly full day.
